Hi, this is my first PC in 8 years, my current one is in desperate need of an upgrade. I am looking for a system which will run high end games no problem and can run multiple browsers/streaming/games concurrently but with a budget around £1500. I’ve currently got this build and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions. Thanks!

Ok it isn't possible to put together a 5800x system for your budget due to the motherboard and cooling required, so I've put you together a nice solid 5600x based system, that will upgrade to 1440p at a future date with just a GPU & monitor upgrade

Is there any benefit in selecting a 2060 Super over a 2060 or even a 1660 for those monitors?

Probably not, as they are fairly naff, I just left it in from the OP's original spec, would be a good card if the OP could upgrade to a single better monitor (1080p)
